Ridership up at Saratoga-North Creek line.

By John Grybos jgrybos@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — A weekend of field pickin' tunes in a four -day camper town approaches as the Upper Hudson Bluegrass Festival r eturns to the Ski Bowl Park for its eighth year from Aug. 18-21. Among the performers is David Nichols and Spar e Change, from Whippleville, outside Malone. “We’re r egionally known and mar ginally famous,” said Nichols. Nichols r uns a guitar inlay shop that's embellished and built guitars for the likes of B.B. King, Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard. A bluegrass festival is basically a giant campout, said Nichols. Attendees like to sit near their camper and play music while listening to the stage. Having someone to play with at your campsite is as big a draw as the stage performers, said Nichols. The bluegrass festival season r uns fr om April to October. It’s special, said Nichols, it’s the way performers like him live their summers.
